Hey everyone! A thousand sparkly apologies for not having posted for a while, I was extremely busy with bureaucratic and boring issues but back I am, with a lot of surprises and inspired, cute cartoons to show you and make your day a little bit better.

Today is Sunday, and I don't know about you but here in Brussels — where I am newly established — the weather is not too good. Windy and grey, it is the perfect opportunity to sip hot chocolate while watching a Disney movie on Netflix or... get carried away by the cute illustrations I'm about to show you !

Today, I want to introduce a series of cartoons that I have found while surfing on the Web, on this website, www.exocomics.com. So as it turns out, I have not found out many information about the author, whose name appears to be Li Chen, but I have to say I completely fell in love with the adorable sketches that the website has to offer. And as a result, I have decided to share those with you today. Enjoy!

Today I lost myself in the Internet, again. But this time, not to watch baby whales videos on YouTube or other exciting things. I have found out about illustrator and artist Marc Johns, and I'm over-obsessed. In spite of drawing things for National Geographic, Newsweek, Google and others — yeah, just that — Marc Johns is an amazing artist who draws emotional and cute doodles enhanced by inspiring and simplistic quotes. This artist from Canada has definitely conquered my heart. Johns draws childishly minimalistic scenes that can apply to the daily life, and his overflowing imagination seems limitless. Marc Johns is definitely a safe bet. Don't be surprised if by a month or too you'll find yourself drinking from ten different Marc Johns illustrated mugs, like me!

As I was writing earlier, the most exciting about Marc Johns is not so much his awesome drawing skills but it is also a matter of the message delivered with each drawing. It is about philosophy and fun, about messed up things of daily life. It is a message that says, "You have to keep going". And it is much better when it is said by an ice-cream cone, isn't it?
